Answer:

x<-2 or x>5 (the second choice)

Explanation:

This is an "or" inequality. Both of the circles on the number line are open, so the signs we will use are going to be either < or >.

The shaded line on the left means x is less than -2 (x<-2). The shaded line on the right means x is greater than 5 (x>5).

If we write this as an "or" inequality, it will be...

x<-2 or x>5

In case you didn't know, if this was an "and" inequality, the shaded lines would intercept. But in this case, the shaded parts went opposite ways, so this is most likely an "or" inequality.

Hope this helped you out!! Have an amazing day c:
